“Occupy is a romance, a tragedy, a comedy … it’s autonomous. Everyone has their own experience,” he said, “I think the rain really discouraged a lot of people. We lost sixteen buses that were going to come down here.” Mike said he was disappointed that the turnout was so low. “I think we’ll have a lot more people in Charlotte,” he added. (emphasis added, of course!)Ho ho! Let's just see these crybabies disrupt the convention of their natural allies, the Democrats/Progressives/Liberals! That would be sweet, sweet justice."The mood on the scene was subdued and quiet. It was clear the weeklong demonstration had come to a close, and the camp wasn’t celebrating a victory but mourning a missed opportunity."You cry your salty tears of frustration anarchists, Obama was not your saviour after all.

LAKELAND, Fla. — In a last-minute change of plans, Mitt Romney will head to visit storm-affected areas in New Orleans today, skipping a previously scheduled joint rally with running mate Paul Ryan in the battleground state of Virginia this afternoon.
A Romney aide told ABC News that Romney will “join Gov. Jindal and will meet with first responders, thank them for their work and see areas impacted by the storm in LaFitte, La.”

Can you say, "Sandbagged?" I guess we know who's better at three dimensional chess. Surely it can't be this easy to fool the One?

President Barack Obama was today forced to announce he will fly to storm-hit Louisiana on Monday – hours after Mitt Romney beat him to the punch by deciding to head there this afternoon.

After it emerged that Obama was still taking time to fit in a campaign stop in Cleveland, Ohio before checking out how clean-up operations are proceeding in the Bayou state, the Obama campaign abruptly cancelled that event.

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki told POLITICO earlier Friday that the president had no plans yet to visit the Gulf state and review damage from Hurricane Isaac, even though Mitt Romney announced plans to visit Friday.

I just filled up the truck yesterday and paid 4.37 a gallon. Yes, it's California, but still.... the progressives have always wanted US gas prices to equal Euro prices, I guess to punish us for our success, and to force everyone into mini cars, which for some reason they think we all ought to drive.

I used Russets, and I added some old cube steak that had been hibernating in the back of the freezer for too long, introduced everything together in the Dutch oven, and put it on the briquets. As I always seem to do, I started about twice as many as I really needed, but the result was still quite delicious.

Here are all the fixings arranged real pretty on the stove.

Everything layered into the Dutch oven.

Outside cooking. Looking really good at this point.

On the plate and ready to eat. Yum!

This one actually made a lot of good comfort food for a relatively minimal effort. It only required gathering the ingredients, mixing them together and cooking. A keeper for sure.

Out in Taxxachusetts, Scott Brown, the Republican currently holding the "Ted Kennedy" seat in Congress, has been in a close battle with Democrat Elizabeth Warren, who gained fame during the campaign for falsely claiming she was part Cherokee.

“Crimes were unequivocally committed and I will do whatever I can to continue to do the government’s job for it and help see justice done.”

“MF Global had a choice. Do we cheat or go out of business. And they cheated. They broke the law. And these took these customer funds to cover margin calls.”

“Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice is the biggest enabler of financial crime in U.S. history.”

And the kill shot:

“I will take this to all 50 states. And we will win. We will get a conviction of Jon Corzine. And the next time a sociopath CEO says ‘Do I go out of business or do I cheat,’ he’s gonna think about President Obama’s biggest fundraiser in an orange jumpsuit in state prison.”
